TLS as president, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 7 x 9, White House letterhead, October 23, 1936. Letter to Emmet Gudger at the Washington Navy Yard. In part: “I want you to know that I am personally giving consideration to your suggestion that Mrs. Keyes be given an appointment as an assistant to the American Delegation to the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace. Mrs. Roosevelt and I share your own opinion concerning Mrs. Keyes’ qualifications. Unfortunately, the budgetary appropriation for the expenses of the delegation make it necessary for the number of assistants to the delegation be kept down to a minimum in view of the number of technical experts that is necessary to appoint.” In fine condition, with paperclip impression to first page, and rusty paperclip marks to second page. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
